Traega Entertainment, an independent studio of industry veterans bringing decades of experience from Blizzard, EA, Riot, Ubisoft, and Disney, today announced the developers first game, BRIG 12. Pulling from their backgrounds working on a wide variety of genres, BRIG 12 is a new take on classic turn-based role playing and card collecting games, putting players in the role of the clone of a legendary space bounty hunter as they assemble their crew, travel the universe and take over their predecessor’s empire. The game is scheduled for release on Windows PC via Steam this August using a truly free to play model, with no content locked behind paywalls and a cash shop focused on cosmetics and convenience, not power.

“As a new studio, we’re excited to announce our first game, BRIG 12. This is the first of what we expect to be many games from Traega Entertainment. We’ve been assembling our team quickly over the past 2 years and I’m really proud of how we have come together to build this game, BRIG 12 embodies the principle we want in all of our games – we want to let the players decide how to play. We think we’ve created a unique combination of some genres we love, and we’re excited about this launch as the stepping stone to future launches for our studio.” – Dax Hock, founder of Traega Entertainment

About BRIG 12

Welcome to BRIG 12, a high-security location that’s exclusively reserved for turning in the most dangerous bounties of the Altera System. It is the most elite destination for Bounty Hunters in the galaxy and, as the clone of a very successful Bounty Hunter, players have earned access into this exclusive club. The job is simple: take over your predecessor’s empire, make a bunch of money, create another clone and go on to retirement. Wrapped in a vibrant and humorous art style, BRIG 12 is an introduction to some of the seediest factions of criminals from exotic lands throughout the farthest reaches of space.

BRIG 12 is a strategic RPG with deep character progression and card collection mechanics. Inspired by classic turn-based RPG games, players and their crew will battle enemies to earn loot, defeat bosses, and capture bounties. Bounties are bite-sized missions that can be completely quickly during a brief play session, or clear out entire bounty boards during longer sessions and turn in multiple bounties at once for bonus rewards! Assemble a crew, customize their gear and abilities, take on bounties throughout the galaxy, and maybe even take some time at the club or barbershop.
